Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and raisins. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the ingredients are combined and form a thick cookie dough.
Scoop out the dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, and place rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Flatten each dough ball slightly using the back of the spoon or your fingers to ensure even baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may seem slightly undercooked but will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies once cooled or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
